Hi again Sherry,
I should have tried a bit further... but just to report that the crash happens as well if I try to Save any work done that was started by selecting a Template (via File>New as described above).

I did this (to see if would correct the problem):-
Copied ...\Templates folder to some other place
Re-installed NC2.6.3 from the link you supplied
Copied the Template folder back to correct place

The problem persists though.
The only way I can use NC now is to open a Template via File>Open as can't use File New at all.

I seem to remember there was something like this happened a long time ago (?).
Appreciate your help.
regard
